摘要
A statistical mechanical theory, in conjunction with a compound formation model has been used to develop expressions for various thermodynamic and microscopic structural functions for 4:3 inter-metallic compounds. These expressions, in turn, have been used to investigate the alloying behaviour and its temperature dependence in Sb-Zn liquid alloys. Our expressions for 4:3 compounds not only reproduce the asymmetric nature of thermodynamic functions such as the excess free energy of mixing and the activity coefficient but also provide structural information about Sb-Zn liquid alloys. The study of concentration fluctuations in the long wavelength limit [Scc(0)], chemical short range order parameter (alpha(1)) and diffusion coefficient clearly demonstrate the presence of Zn4Sb3 compounds in the melt. It is also observed that the tendency for inter-metallic associations, which leads to the formation of Zn4Sb3 compounds, decreases with the increase of temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.
